Our Company

PVH Brands Australia Pty. Limited is a joint venture between Gazal Corporation Limited [ASX: GZL] and PVH Corp [NYSE: PVH]. Taking effect on February 3, 2014, the joint venture followed a long and successful relationship between Gazal, a leading apparel supplier and retailer in Australasia, and PVH, one of the world’s largest apparel companies and owner of the iconic Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands worldwide.

Gazal has operated the Van Heusen brand in Australia for over 30 years under license from PVH, and in 2003 acquired the sole distribution rights for the Calvin Klein Underwear brand in Australia and New Zealand.

Global megabrand Calvin Klein was the first brand to fall within the joint venture, with PVH Brands Australia licensing from Calvin Klein, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH), the rights to operate, manage and distribute Calvin Klein brand products in Australia, New Zealand and other island nations in the South Pacific for a period of 20 years.

On February 4, 2015, PVH and Gazal added businesses to the joint venture, significantly expanding its scope. PVH Brands Australia secured the rights to license and distribute the Tommy Hilfiger brand in Australia and New Zealand (including wholesale and retail) for a 12-year term.

The joint venture also acquired at that time Gazal’s shirting, tailored and men’s accessories business, which is conducted under PVH’s Van Heusen and Calvin Klein brands, as well as Gazal’s owned and licensed Pierre Cardin, Bracks, Fred Bracks, Paramount and Trent Nathan brands. The Van Heusen licence has been transferred to the joint venture and extended to 2033.

Gazal’s shapewear business was also added to the joint venture, which consists of the Australian and New Zealand rights to Nancy Ganz (the Australasian market leader in this category); as well as owning Body by Nancy. PVH Brands Australia has entered into a perpetual license with PVH for Nancy Ganz for all territories outside of Australia and New Zealand.
